Cricketers used to bat without helmets against bowlers who used to bowl upraising their speeds over 150 km/h, in the good old days. Till the 1970s and 80s, West Indies' fast bowlers like Michael Holding, Malcolm Marshall, Joel Garner, and Andy Roberts used to send a chilling fear among the batsmen. Thereby several serious injuries were seen, and the ICC made helmets compulsory in the 1990s. During the game, if a ball hits a player's helmet, a concussion test is performed. The team doctor comes onto the field and asks the player some questions to check his condition. Recently, a video from a match between Norway and Sweden went viral, showing a funny moment involving Norway batsman Qamar Mushtaque. In the video, Mushtaque tries to pull a delivery and gets hit on the helmet instead. On the field right away comes a woman - Norway's team doctor comes onto the field, attempts to conduct the concussion test. Mushtaque answers all her questions with a smile and seems in total shape. Once the doctor is done, she gives him a fist bump that makes him grin even more.

One such tragic incident happened with Phillip Hughes in 2014 when he died after being hit by a bouncer. To make sure this never happens again, the ICC has emphasized ways to secure helmets while playing. Another rule the ICC brought in during 2019 is the concussion substitute. It says that if a player fails the concussion test or feels ill after having been hit on the helmet, he can be replaced so that injured players don't have to continue playing while their team remains competitive.
